#Auburn HC Bruce Pearl with a pretty apt comparison just now, saying Indiana high school basketball is akin to Texas high school football.
Bruce Pearl: "Indiana's got the best frontline in the Big Ten. ... It'll be a great matchup." Kel'el Ware averages 17.1 ppg and 9.4 reb, and Malik Reneau averages 14.8 and 4.6.
#Auburn HC Bruce Pearl says Indiana is "obviously" a blue blood. It'll be the Tigers' first matchup with the Hoosiers since 1987, and their second all-time.
Auburn HC Bruce Pearl: "Indiana obviously is a blueblood. It's a historic program out of the Big Ten. What an opportunity for us to play one of the bluebloods in college basketball."
Bruce Pearl opens his Indiana preview press conference: "The question is if we're going to shoot it better."
